Silent Hunter 5 & Windows 10

AstroMelly · 09-13-16, 04:00 AM

All running fine for me on Mac (Win10 via BootCamp) - I think the only thing to look out for it that the updater does not seem to work in the UPlay GUI - it fails silently.

Luckily for me I was following the instructions for installing Wolves Of Steel which include finding and running the gu.exe so I never saw it crash.

One problem for me at the moment is the font size used by the map tools (I've got a 15" screen). I've tried searching the forum to see if there's an easy way to increase this or perhaps made the numbers bold - even better would be to increase the offset from the protractor in particular. Perhaps I'm just getting old and need some bifocals, but it appears ridiculously small and difficult to read to me...

Anyone have a thread to point me to or some other advice?

Cheers and Happy Hunting!!!

Hi I have got sh3,sh4,sh5 running on windows 10 anniversary update ok but after a fresh install the documents folders now go to documents cloud as default even in offline mod and game update to 1.2 is not automatically done.

I can't get it to work

Uplay just crashes on me when I try to log in offline and reinstalling it many times hasn't changed anything. The procedure to follow on the website doesn't work for me as so just wondering if you guys have any suggestions.

Not trying to look stupid but I couldn't try the sh5.exe file trick as I can't find it so any info on that would be great.

This is want it reads when I try to log on offline as I can't log on online:

Uplay has detected an unrecoverable error and must be shutdown. Crash dump created at "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/crashes

Hello again all that I knew, and hello to ones I have yet to meet. It's been 6 years since I have been on here and 6 years since I played SH4. I never knew SH5 was released, or was a concept. I stumbled upon SH5 in the Steam Store, but read the reviews that it was bugged w/lack of any major fixes. I trust SUBSIM to give me an honest answer. How is it, really?

I was also thinking on getting SH4 again via Steam since I no longer have it (lost it somewhere over the years and house move) and I am also running Win10. How is SH4 on 10?
